Sylvia, heh, I know. All the GenXers in class complained about having to admit we were GenXers. Supposedly Millennials are idealistic so I am with you in hoping their idealism is of the good sort!

Carrie, lol, there is no escaping a box, everyone must fit into one!

Victoria, oh yes, you can be a GenXer. There is actually a transition period between generations where those born in that period have characteristics of both generations but generally feel more affinity to one over the other.

Help! I’m technically a Millenial (just; born 1983) but I feel more like a Gen-Xer. Can I be an honorary member of the previous generation?

I love how we have the desire to classify people and how creatively we do it.

I finally got around to reading that article by Howe and Strauss. I hate to admit it but I am a Gen-Xer. Apparently hating to admit it is part of it! Here’s hoping the Millenials go more in the direction of “solidarity forever” and not “Hitler Youth.” :S

Dorothy, heh, yeah give the millennials group projects they love them, I don’t know why, but they do. I don’t get their need to be on their cell phones all the time either, it concerns me that they don’t know how to be alone. Have you had a millennial parent come talk to you yet about why you gave their child a bad grade? I’ve heard stories. I hope it never happens to you.

Sylvia, maybe he’ll get better with the ballroom dance next week. One can only hope.
